Description

Physical Description:

Printed in black, an open-mouthed figure holds flowers in one hand and points into a square hole with the other hand as cars drive on a road sticking diagonally out of the hole. Another open-mouthed figure points to the sky with one hand and makes a fist with the other. In the background, a waterfront with two figures holding hands, trees, four-legged animals, an overpass with cars, and boats visible in the water.
